I havent even upgraded KDE and dont have luxi-mono listed either but you wi=

find it is there as the default font called 'Monospace'. Stephen is correct=

it is not a KDE issue but would most likely have changed when you last=20
upgraded your distro or X and is due to the fontconfig definition file.

If you open the font window in Konsole and carefully position your windows =

that you can open the controlcentre fonts window and go to change the gener=
al=20
font so you have another font selector window open that shows all fonts you=

will see when you make them the same point size that 'Monospace' and=20
'Luxi-Mono' are indeed the same font even down to the serifs on the T and t=
he=20
peculiar 'm'.=20
      Of course there is no such font called 'Monospace' the same as there =
is=20
no such fonts as 'Sans' or 'Serif' they are aliases that can vary according=
=20
to the fonts that your distro supplies and the order it searches your font=
=20
folders although they are now uniform over the major distros.

I dont see why it doesnt list the original name as well though.  Possibly o=
nce=20
it has used it as the alias it ignores it or it could be that (on my system=
)=20
according to the FontMap there are both TT and Type1 copies of Luxi-Mono an=
d=20
that may confuse it.
